The first pair of interviews for superintendent of Clinton Community Schools will begin at 6 p.m. Tuesday, March 19. Two more are scheduled for Wednesday. All interviews are open to the public and will be in the high school library.

The first candidate questioned by the Clinton Board of Education will be Kevin Beazley, who is currently Clinton athletic director. He will be followed at 7:30 p.m. by Sean McNatt, superintendent of Breckenridge Community Schools.

On Wednesday, Jonathan Good, a high school principal in the Freeland School District located between Midland and Bay City, will be interviewed starting at 6 p.m. At 7:30 p.m., the final candidate, Andrew Rogers, Leslie High School principal in Ingham County, will be interviewed. The pool will be reduced further at board meeting at 6 p.m. Monday, March 25.

On April 9 and 10, two chosen finalists will tour the district and take part in meet and greet sessions with the staff and the community. The second round of interviews will be in the evening of each day at 7 p.m. The board’s regular meeting is April 15, at which time site visits could be scheduled or a new superintendent could be selected.

Richard Dunham, director of the Michigan Association of School Boards (MASB) Superintendent Search Services, is assisting the board in its search. Dunham also helped the Tecumseh Board of Education in its search, which resulted in the hiring of Kelly Coffin to step in when Mike McAran retires at the end of the school year.

Clinton superintendent David Pray is also retiring at the end of the school year. He has been in this position since 1994 and will conclude 44 years in education with his retirement.

Schedule of interviews All interviews will take place in the Clinton High School Library.
